Hi Tracy,Welcome to the forum.Sorry but I can not offer any input on
your situation with the problems you are having other than adhesions.I
can tell you that if you are looking for comfort and support this is the
best place to be.I have found so much comfort from all these wonderful
people on this forum. And l feel so blessed that I have found people
that I can talk to that know exactly how I feel and what I am going
through.And the most important thing to remember is that you are not
alone.Again welcome to the forum.
